When Janine was sidelined by a persistent, unrelenting headache, she had no idea it would lead to a life-threatening emergency that put at risk the moments she cherishes most — meaningful days at work, family gatherings, and precious time with her one-year-old granddaughter. Thanks to the expert team at MidHudson Regional Hospital, a member of WMCHealth, advanced imaging quickly revealed a dangerous carotid artery dissection, and she was transferred to Westchester Medical Center for a minimally invasive procedure that repaired her artery and protected her life. 

“My doctor explained everything so thoroughly and made me feel completely safe during such a scary time. No stone was left unturned — the staff was knowledgeable, kind, and treated me like family. Within a few weeks, I was back at work and spending time with my family and granddaughter. They truly saved my life.”

Today, Janine is healthy and savoring every moment with her loved ones — all thanks to the expert clinicians and advanced technology supported by donors like you.
